I think at this point were getting pedantic.

ASCII is a "declarative programming language"

You write it once, save it and execute it later.  It can even have 
different representations chosen by the processor !
( font size, implied semantics , why it can even be used to encode a 
different programming language ! how's that for powerful :)
